Which of the following statements provides a correct representation of gene density?
A)Humans have 3,000 Mb per genome.
B)C)elegans has approximately 20,000 genes.
C)Humans have approximately 21,000 genes in 3,000 Mb.
D)Humans have 27,000 bp in introns.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene density refers to the number of genes per unit of DNA. Choice C provides a correct representation of gene density by stating that humans have approximately 21,000 genes (the number of genes) in 3,000 Mb (the unit of DNA). Choices A and D are incorrect, as they do not provide information on gene density, and choice B only provides the number of genes in C. elegans, without any reference to the size of its genome.
